When we went to check them out we saw they were doing art based on the letter A. Then the teacher showed us that the kids had been working on their art with fingerprints. We thought Rooms 1 and 2 have been focused and awesome kids! By School Reporters Ava and Leandre Room 6 have been working very hard on their Art in the past few weeks. Their Diwali art is very cool and they have taken their time colouring and decorating. It seems like they had a lot of fun! They did some beautiful cow and Santa hats that were amazing too! Some children wrote letters to Santa writing what they would like for Christmas. We took our time to admire their beautiful work. By School Reporters Kendall, Addison and Charlie Room 21 made their own Diwali art. They drew an intricate pattern and repeated it to make it symmetrical. Then they coloured them with bright colours to present light over darkness, which is what Diwali celebrates. Room 24 made these wonderful lanterns by using an outline and colouring in bright colours. Rooms 1-13 made these art with coloured sand or rice. They used red, blue, green, and yellow. They also made their own art but using an outline. By School Reporters Tresna and Chenoa. In Rooms 1 and 2 they have been creating art work such as cute little teddy bear paintings, funny creative sheep and cool looking trees. Room 1 and 2 have both read and made the jigaree animal.

They did some artwork with their buddy class, Room 26. There is some elephant art that was coloured by the children in r Room 7. Some of them were playing with the blocks, some of them were doing some writing practise and some of them were doing coloring/playing with their play doh. By School Reporters Lenny and Xavier There were lots of different, creative and exciting activities happening around school for the first day of Agricultural Day. Room 1-4 made gumboots and adorable veggie men. Rooms 9, 10 and 11 made little veggie men out of carrots, potatoes and other vegetables. They also made a cute giraffe and it had cute glasses! Rooms 12&13 made some houses out of card and sand. They also made little pet rocks with little farm animal faces. Room 14 made gumboots with paper flowers glued to them. Rooms 21&22 made balloon animals. This is how they made them: 1. They blew up balloons and tied them shut. 2. Then they got this special glue and newspaper and stuck the newspaper on the balloons and did about 5-6 layers and when they dried, they added one layer of white paper. 3. They painted their balloons the colour of their animals. 4. Once that dried they got their accessories and glued or hot glued them one. And there you have your animals! Rooms 23, 24 and 25 made sand saucers and cardboard animals made out of milk bottles, pipe cleaners, lids and heaps more. They also made little gardens out of blue water and sand with plastic toys and plants. Room 26 made sand saucers with flowers and sand. Room 27 made cupcake animals. They made chickens, roosters, sheep and all of the farm animals. They also did gumboots like all the other rooms.

In writing they have been doing ‘What am I?’ books.
